For (semi-)essential packages there is no guarantee that removing will be easy. I know of quite some essential packages that are not easy to remove at all. Switching away from sysv-rc is apparently possible as Phil is using upstart with insserv. It's quite true that removing should be made optional if possible, though that does not seem grave to me.
